HELP -Day three of flare - frightened :(

[Guest guest]

STATUS:

Day three and holding...actually the stomach pains started on Monday.

After a meal with potential illegals in it I had D that night.

Tuesday was increase frequency (I'd says seven visits to the bathroom)

but formed loose, sizable stools. Wednesday was about seven visits,

all D, lots of urgency and a little bit of blood in one or two of the

BMs. Initiated beginning stage of SCD. Three visits to the bathroom

that night and about eight visits all together to the bathroom

yesterday. More bright blood in the morning and an increase in blood

overall - I'd say 1/3 c for the day. Drank home made pedialite which

gave me a headache that lasted throughout the day. Used a Canasa

suppository last night and will also today but no other meds.

QUESTIONS:

Is this all normal for a die off flare?

Can this be cause buy some illegals?

Should I increase probiotics? Taking two Lyosans a day . Might that

aggrivate my system?

Am I able to do the yogurt at the beginning stage? The intro chart

from Pecanbread does not show into of dairy.

SCD friednly gatrointerologist in the Portland, OR area anyone?

I see Elaine had said a small dose of Prednisone might help through

this - I have some left over from the last major flare prescd. The

doc started me at 60 - I was thinking that if thing progress much

worse I will do a small cycle of this, starting at 10 or 15 mg a day

and do the taper. I hate that stuff and want to avoid it.

I'm SCARED guys - I realize this is supposed to happen but I am not

sure to what intensity. I am not sure at what point I should seek

medical attention. If I go to the doc I know he is going to want to

initiate immune suppressors.
